Hungover

The Decent Proposal: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 668min

An addictively listenable debut romantic comedy, drama, and mystery rolled into one, about two very different strangers whose lives become intertwined when they receive an unusual proposition. This is a funny, tender, and enchanting story about love, attraction, and friendship: Jane Austen in Los Angeles. A struggling Hollywood producer, Richard Baumbach is 29, hungover, and broke. Ridiculously handsome, with an innate charm and an air of invincibility, he still believes good things will come his way. For now he contents himself with days at the Coffee Bean and nights with his best friend, Mike (that's a woman, by the way). At 33, Elizabeth Santiago is on track to make partner at her law firm. Known as "La Máquina" - The Machine - to her colleagues, she's grown used to avoiding anything that might derail her quiet, orderly life. And yet recently she befriended a homeless man in her Venice neighborhood, surprised to find how much she enjoys their early morning chats. Richard and Elizabeth's paths collide when they receive a proposal from a mysterious anonymous benefactor. They'll split a million dollars if they agree to spend at least two hours together - just talking - every week for a year. Astonished and more than a little suspicious, they both, nevertheless, say yes. Richard needs the money and likes the adventure of it. Elizabeth embraces the challenge of shaking up her life a little more. Both agree the idea is ridiculous, but why not? What ensues is a delightful journey full of twists, revelations, hamburgers, classic literature, poppy music, and, above all, love in its multitude of forms. The Decent Proposal is a heartfelt and often hilarious look at the ties that bind not just a guy and a girl but an entire diverse cast of characters situated within a modern-day Los Angeles brought to full and irrepressible life. ungekürzt.

The Flight Attendant: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 698min

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Guest Room, a powerful story about the ways an entire life can change in one night: A flight attendant wakes up in the wrong hotel, in the wrong bed, with a dead man - and no idea what happened. Cassandra Bowden is no stranger to hungover mornings. She's a binge drinker, her job with the airline making it easy to find adventure, and the occasional blackouts seem to be inevitable. She lives with them and the accompanying self-loathing. When she awakes in a Dubai hotel room, she tries to piece the previous night back together, counting the minutes until she has to catch her crew shuttle to the airport. She quietly slides out of bed, careful not to aggravate her already pounding head, and looks at the man she spent the night with. She sees his dark hair. His utter stillness. And blood, a slick, still wet pool on the crisp white sheets. Afraid to call the police - she's a single woman alone in a hotel room far from home - Cassie begins to lie. She lies as she joins the other flight attendants and pilots in the van. She lies on the way to Paris as she works the first-class cabin. She lies to the FBI agents in New York who meet her at the gate. Soon it's too late to come clean - or face the truth about what really happened back in Dubai. Could she have killed him? If not, who did? Set amid the captivating world of those whose lives unfold at 40,000 feet, The Flight Attendant unveils a spellbinding story of memory, of the giddy pleasures of alcohol and the devastating consequences of addiction, and of murder far from home. ungekürzt.

Hand of Chaos: Chaos Theology, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 712min

Exhausted, cynical, and confused, Anna is always there to report for duty. She's part of a clandestine government team that defends the nation against supernatural terrorism - a job that understandably leaves her life in shambles and drives her to drink a little more than she should. Toss in a fear of intimacy with a desire to have friends and lovers like a normal person and, well, Anna is a troubled soul wrapped in a special agent with arcane, magical powers. Waking up hungover at 5:30 in the morning with a zombie-infested apartment building in the heart of DC to deal with, she knows she's got the makings of the worst morning possible. Her team is its own challenge. A battle-scarred Nigerian shaman, a bookish shape-shifter, an inept summoner, and a brilliant but cantankerous wizard round it all out. Her partner, an immortal and cursed Paladin, is the only person she knows more jaded than herself. Getting them all to work together is never easy, with Anna often caught in the crossfire. Their target, Ethan Morgan, is one pissed-off necromancer. His brother was KIA by his own government, the victim of an experimental magical weapon they decided to test on the battlefield. Now bent on revenge and sponsored by one of hell's most powerful demons, Ethan has a plan of his own to make us all pay. Anna and her team are fighting against the wake of destruction, but Ethan is always one step ahead. With the number of bodies he leaves and reanimates growing exponentially, Anna's wondering if they'll stop him before he engulfs everyone in an undead horde. Proving once again that revenge is best served cold, usually with reanimated corpses, J. Hamlet’s genre-bender is the kind of seat-of-your-pants thriller that changes your view of what is possible in literature. This jaunt into a dark reflection of our world blends dark fantasy and surreal horror with a spy thriller to create an extraordinary new genre all its own, riding the rails at breakneck speed as h ungekürzt.

Stranger Sex on My Eighteenth Birthday: A Barely Legal Erotica Story (Sexy Student Sluts) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 18min, (USK 18)

Taylor has her eighteenth birthday all figured out. She's particularly excited about her plans for a tattoo and hanging out with her friend Alice. Things don't go as planned, though! Alice gets caught up with a boy, and the tattoo artist isn't coming in. About the only good thing is a hot guy working the desk at the tattoo parlor. Taylor thinks Kai is amazing, and he's about to prove it. Before long, she's right in the middle of a stranger sex experience! Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity during a stranger sex encounter. It includes barely legal sex, oral sex, deep throat, rough sex, and semen swallowing. It is intended for mature listeners who will not be offended by graphic depictions of sex acts between consenting adults. Here is a preview: I wondered what he would be like in bed as he kept talking, "Duke did this tattoo. That's how I started coming here, because of Duke. Finally I was here so much that I ended up getting a job at the desk. Why not, right?" "Totally. This looks like a great place to work." He laughed, "Oh it is." He threw a lollipop at me from a jar on his desk and winked, "Happy Birthday, kiddo." My heart sunk again when he called me a kid. He was really, really cute. The phone rang and he answered it, "Yankee Heart Tattoo, Kai speaking." He continued to nod his head and said, "Yes" a few times before hanging up. After that, he looked at me with a frown and said, "I've got bad news for you, kid. Duke's not coming in for a while. Hungover. Big time." Now, my heart was really broken, just like Kai's arm tattoo. Nothing was going too great today other than winning five bucks. I guess Kai could see the heartache on my face so he said, "Come here." I left my purse on the couch and went up to the desk. In a lower voice, Kai said, "Chin up, kid." Then, he raised his arm to my head and grabb ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nichelle Gregory.

No Hard Feelings (eBook, ePUB)

Hungover, underpaid and overwhelmed, this isn't where Penny expected to be as she reached her late twenties. A sharp, smart and witty look at adulting - Fleabag meets Sorrow and Bliss with a splash of Dolly Alderton.'No Hard Feelings is clever, funny and surprisingly sweet, and Penny captured my heart' Toni Jordan I exist on validation from emotionally unavailable men, biscuits, and cheap wine, and it's easier to get off with Max than a Tiny Teddy.Penny can't help but compare herself to her friends. Annie is about to become a senior associate at her law firm, Bec has just got engaged, Leo is dating everyone this side of the Yarra, and Penny is just ... waiting. Waiting for Max, her on-again, off-again boyfriend, to allow her to spend the night, waiting for the promotion she was promised, waiting for her Valium to kick in. Waiting for her real life to start.Out of excuses and sick of falling behind, Penny is determined to turn things around. She's going to make it work with Max, impress her tyrannical boss, quit seeing her useless therapist, remember to water her plants, and stop having panic attacks in the work toilets.But soon she's back to doomscrolling on Instagram, necking bottles of Aldi's finest sauvignon blanc, and criticising herself with renewed vigour and loathing. As her goals seem further away than ever, she has to wonder: when bad habits feel so good, how do you trust what's right for you?'Genevieve Novak will inevitably be compared to other authors, but the truth is, she is herself and herself alone - and that's a good thing. Funny, biting, vulnerable and unflinching, Novak's novel is like an ocean dip: a bit salty, very refreshing.' Lauren Sams'Scaldingly funny and bitingly real, No Hard Feelings deserves a warning label: danger, may induce binge reading.

Tori Haschka, author of Grace Under Pressure'No Hard Feelings is a gratifying, warm and funny debut' Books+Publishing'Novak has perfectly captured the self-doubt and total horror of having to be happy and functional in your twenties. It would have you crying into your chipped manicure if it wasn't so darn funny.' Kimberley Allsopp, author of Love and Other Puzzles
